It is easy to tell from the songs of musician, Wizkid that he loves his mother dearly and there’s no doubt that the feeling is mutual.

The star, whose birth name is Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, is said to have a private nickname that only family members call him.

This was revealed by his beautiful mother Jane Dolapo Balogun during a recent interview. She said:

“I’m so glad that he is my son, and that I’m his mother. I give God all the glory. God has kept him for us and He will continue to.”

When asked what name she calls her son, she said:

Well, right from when he was small, I call him ‘IB-boy’. You know his real name is Ibrahim, so we formed ‘IB’ from it.”

So, you’ll be forgiven if you holla “IB- Star-boy” if you see him ride by.
